11     my loving God.

II

May God go before me,
    and show me my fallen foes.
12 Slay them, God,
    lest they deceive my people.
Shake them by your power;
    Lord, our shield, bring them down.
13 For the sinful words of their mouths and lips
    let them be caught in their pride.
For the lies they have told under oath(A)
14     destroy them in anger,
    destroy till they are no more.
Then people will know God rules over Jacob,
    yes, even to the ends of the earth.(B)
Selah

11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,[a](A)
    or my people will forget.(B)
In your might uproot them
    and bring them down.(C)
12 For the sins of their mouths,(D)
    for the words of their lips,(E)
    let them be caught in their pride.(F)
For the curses and lies they utter,
13     consume them in your wrath,
    consume them till they are no more.(G)
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
    that God rules over Jacob.(H)

14 They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
